Our school quality improvement system provides educators a complete picture of schools’ academic progress by showcasing state and locally-developed data in a way that is unique and innovative.

The system is broader than the state’s dashboard on test scores, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates, and data about English learners. It provides educators a clear view of progress by including locally-generated data on student-level academic growth, high school readiness, students’ social-emotional skills and schools’ culture climate.

From a narrow focus to a holistic approach: The data system contains a broad range of measures including academic, social-emotional and culture-climate indicators.
